LOPARIC, Zeljko. Origin in Heidegger and Winnicott. Winnicott e-prints [online]. 2007, vol.2, n.1, pp.28-44. ISSN 1679-432X.
After making a brief presentation of the manner in which the topic of origin emerges in Heidegger’s thought, the article shows that this topic necessarily includes that of birth. Next, the birth is studied in the light of the first and the second phase of Heidegger’s philosophy. Finally, the concepts of birth and origin that are contained in Winnicott’s theory of maturation are presented in order to introduce a dialogue between Heidegger’s thinking of Being and Winnicott’s psychoanalysis of human coming to be and growth.
Keywords : Heidegger; Winnicott; Origin; Birth; Maturation.
